Great list- some new ones to me and this is my weekend to go get new music because Bonnie, when I tagged her, had a couple I didn't know. I like the Wainwright version of Hallelujah a bit more. And while Pomp and Circumstance is sort of so-so as fine music goes, congrats again to DM! Have a great long weekend.

We have only just begun to tap the glorious potential of our iPod. I kicked my music addiction a few years back, but now...I wanna ride the White Horse. On my "Must Buy" list - the new releases from Audioslave, Coldplay, the White Stripes, Ryan Adams, Oasis, Spoon and Gorillaz.

I'm a HUGE Ben Folds Five fan - they were brilliant live. Ben's solo stuff (MHO!) is a bit tame.

Currently listening to "Mail Package", by Umphrey's McGee, recorded live at the Crystal Ballroom, Portland, Oregon, 4/20/05. (Heh heh - 420...)

The name is Cactus, Chris Cactus. I'm married to Beth Fish and for some strange reason the universe has entrusted me with two kids - The Mia Bean and Owen (who has yet to get a cool nickname that's stuck). I've made hats, painted houses, designed websites, and built networks for a living but now I'm your average IT security geek. I like my coffee black, my politics liberal, my music loud and my books, well, I just like books.
